According to Chesney, “The Minotaur” flies at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour. The track is 91 feet (or 28 meters) and is comprised of a steel-plated wooden track, and features two-11.8 feet drops. Chesney built an accompanying steel car with knowledge he gained from working at a metal door factory.

In all, Chesney told The Star “The Minotaur” cost him just $3,000. His fascination as a youngster with K’Nex sets fueled his ambition, despite his parent’s desires.

“It just got bigger,” Chesney told The Star. “Then it got to the point where my parents said, ‘It’s huge, but you've gotten this far, so just finish it and then take it down after.’”

Chesney said his dad wants it taken down by summer’s end, but he wants to find a new home for “The Minotaur.”
